I was favorably impressed with Battenfeld Technologies (www.battenfeldtechnologies.com) original Caldwell Fire
Control Rest. The newer Fire Control Front Rest is even better, more versatile,
compact, easier to transport and store. Yet, it retains the effortless
targeting and re-targeting of the original. The basic specifications follow.

It takes only a minute or two to set-up out of the box.
Used in conjunction with your favorite rear bag, it makes sighting in a rifle,
checking trajectory and load development quick and hassle free. "Fire
Control" is an alignment system that allows the shooter continual,
one-hand adjustment of downrange crosshair alignment via a multi-directional
control arm. Gone is the two-handed repositioning of the rifle before and
between shots. Just move the control arm with one hand and your cross-hairs are
on the bull again and again with minimal fumbling or adjustments, no frenetic
movements or re-positioning.

The Caldwell Fire Control front rest is extremely stable and
well made. It doesn't move at all between shots, so you can essentially “set it
and forget it.” While the original included a rear cradle, this unit is far
handier and more compact. The base is cast iron, not aluminum, so it is also
more stable. This is an industry-leading product that just became my favorite
shooting rest. Even Buddy, the wonder-dog, agrees, as he doesn't have to spend
as much time back in the truck between shot strings.
